Jerry Drake Varnell, who allegedly followed far-right anti-government groups and told the FBI he “wanted to start the next revolution,” is “a paranoid schizophrenic
He has no job, no money, no vehicle, and no driver’s license, due to the fact that he is schizophrenic and we; his parents do everything we can possible to keep him safe and functional. The mental health system has consistently failed us
He has attended college and just enrolled in welding school. His medications allow him to be somewhat functional but he will never be completely functional in life

The FBI is a despicable political actor. They set up muslims during the war on terror in the same way. Never once did they catch a real terrorist plot. It was all political theater.

You're right, its not so much about critical thinking as it is pattern recognition.
